Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game by Selecta European Toys
Selecta Arcadia is fun wooden European building blocks and can also be played with as a stacking game. Selecta's Arcadia creative building blocks consists of 20 irregularly shaped wooden building block and 4 different roof blocks in exciting colors. These European building blocks are sure to provide endless amounts of fun and creativity. Each building your child will build is as different as the next!
Building blocks do more than any other toy to positively influence the creativity and dexterity of our children. Children get hands-on experience building, balancing, experimenting and generally experience the satisfaction of seeing the immediate results of their work. The sturdy building blocks of Selecta's Arcadia are perfect for little hands because they are stable and not inclined to fall over at the merest touch. With Arcadia blocks, colorful towers, houses and even little villages appear in no time at all. Every building has a different look due to the variety of colors and the way the various blocks lean. Will your tower stand?
Selecta building blocks help children learn to discern color and shape variations and they meet leaning towers for the first time too. With these blocks, building is really fun!
You can also use Arcadia as an interesting extension to an ordinary set of blocks. There are various ways for baby and toddlers as young as 1 year old to play. For example, they can try to build a house with blocks all exactly the same color, or build one with blocks all colors of the rainbow, or to see how far they can get a tower to lean over before it collapses. There is really no limit to the ways children can use their imagination.

Mini Magnetic puzzles are made from thin pieces of laser-cut 1/8 inch plywood colored with non-toxic water based dyes. Each puzzle piece has a magnetic strip on the back that will stick to any metallic surface. These German made wooden puzzles are packaged in an attractive 8"" square metal storage box.

Grimm's European puzzles are great fun for the whole family. Made in Germany by Grimms Spiel & Holz Design.
The following developmental skills and benefits are encouraged by Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game learning toy:
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops Motor skills Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. They are divided into two groups: gross motor skills, which include the larger movements of arms, legs, feet, or the entire body (crawling, running, and jumping); and fine motor skills, which are smaller actions, such as grasping an object between the thumb and a finger or using the lips and tongue to taste objects or for speech.
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops Fine motor skills Fine motor skills involve a refined use of the small muscles controlling the hand, fingers, thumb, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
The development of these skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as writing, drawing, buttoning and speech. Fine motor abilities develop over time, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects, that develop into basic grasping and manipulation skills to more precise activities that involve precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards.
The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express themselves through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling.
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops Gross Motor Skills Gross Motor Skills are the movements of the large muscles of the body. Activities that use large muscle groups would be running, jumping, riding bikes.
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops Hand Eye Coordination Hand-eye coordination is the ability of the vision system to coordinate the information received through the eyes to control, guide, and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a given task, such as handwriting or catching a ball
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops Sensory stimulation - visual Vision is the process of understanding what is seen by the eyes. It involves more than the simple visual ability to distinguish fine details. Vision also involves fixation and eye movement abilities, focusing, convergence (eye aiming), binocularity (eye teaming), and the control of hand-eye coordination. Most hand movements require visual input to be carried out effectively. For example, when children are learning to draw, they follow the position of the hand holding the pencil visually as they make lines on the paper.
Between four and 14 months of age, infants explore their world and develop hand-eye coordination, in conjunction with fine motor skills. Fine motor skills are involved in the control of small muscle movements, such as when an infant starts to use fingers with a purpose and in coordination with the eyes.
Arcadia - Wooden European Building Blocks and Stacking Game develops problem solving/Cognitive Development Cognitive development is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to learn, remember and solve problems.
The foundation for these abilities starts during infancy as the brain begins forming countless synapses, or connections, between brain or nerve cells. The brain is made up of neurons (nerve cells resembling long wires).
When a baby is born there are relatively few connections between the neurons, and it is you and your baby's primary task to make new ones. Connections (synapses) between brain cells are made when a baby receives stimulation. As you engage and responds to your baby, you are helping to activate the formation of synapses. The synapses will combine to form neural pathways, and the configuration of those pathways will determine the child's ability to learn, relate to people, manage emotions, and function in the world.
